Bluebonnet Party of Denton

It's so ugly! The uniform "marble" (I doubt it's real, someone probably lied to pocket the difference) on every surface makes it look like someone's first videogame map where they use just 1 texture.

Why are the brazenly corrupt so enamored with the ugliest decor possible? Money can't buy taste

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

Axios headline: “Mike Johnson faces growing internal revolt over shutdown”

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We must encourage Democrats to keep holding the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

At this level of AI mania and given the size of companies betting the farm on AI, investing *at all* is far riskier than normal. When this bubble bursts, there won't be anywhere safe.

Remember the dot com bubble? This might be worse.

Make sure you know what you’re invested in, just in case. When a big enough bubble bursts and cause a recession, the rich benefit off the backs of working people.

Be smart. Boycott. Don’t let the billionaires win.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown tonight.

Rather than address the health care crisis that they created just earlier this year, they refuse to come to the table and do their jobs.

What happened to the art of the deal?

He’s right to say it, and he’s right to say it *now*.

But this isn’t doomerism. Trump has not already stolen the 2026 elections. He has not already consolidated power. He couldn’t even get a comedian fired. We can, and therefore must, continue to exercise our rights defiantly.

'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

It’s almost as if the Trump regime lies

Michael Eisner @Michael_Eisner Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The “suspending indefinitely” of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one’s political or financial self-interest.” By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

Interesting

There is no better time to meet a neighbor, to build community, to bridge divides.

No one likes the state of our country. No one likes what Trump and the ultra-wealthy are doing to tear us apart. No one wants an oligarchy or dictatorship.

We’re all in this together.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

•ABC: fires Kimmel for mocking Trump
•CBS: fires Colbert for mocking Trump
•ABC: fires Moran for slamming Stephen Miller
•MSNBC: fires Matt Dowd for saying “hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions”

•FOX: Champions Brian Kilmeade as he calls for Nazi state murder of America’s 600K homeless people

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

“Your enemy isn’t across; your enemy is up.”

We’ve been divided for too long. The rich and elite continue to drive wedges between us so they can gain even more power and wealth.

We cannot do this anymore. We the people must unite, in peace and solidarity with one another, for the sake of America.

Watch JD Vance's audition as Trump's replacement, preparing for when he and the gang of techno-fascist billionaires backing him—*cough* Peter Thiel *cough*—destroy America, carve it up, and then purchase the broken pieces for cents on the dollar so they can rule over tech-enabled dystopian kingdoms.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?"

BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao"

1. "It, um, doesn't say anything."

2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe."

The President of the United States said, on TV today, that the U.S. should have a justice system more like China's, with quick trials that happen the next day. And most of the media decided that wasn't news, because .... you know what he's like.

Must be nice to live in a country where people are held accountable for plotting a coup.

Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

Wall St is completely divorced from the real economy and is just a bunch of traders trying to out mind-read each other and divine the future. Unfortunately, the stock market is where all the rich people make/have their wealth so the actual economy and the labor market are so often sidelined

US job growth through March expected to be revised down sharply The level of U.S. employment for the 12 months through March could be slashed by as many as one million jobs when the government publishes its preliminary nonfarm payrolls benchmark estimate on Tuesday, economists predicted.

Turns out the job market was never strong. The BLS is deleting up to 1M imaginary jobs. We hallucinated a recovery, hiked rates into it and now trump’s tariffs get to finish the job. Who needs hard numbers when delusion and denial help prop up Wall Street?

BLS revision shows U.S. job growth likely far slower than we thought The U.S. likely added 900,000 fewer jobs in the twelve months ending in March than had been reported, according to a preliminary Labor Department report.

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Everyone should remember that America was explicitly *not* founded as a Christian nation! Thomas Jefferson himself edited the Bible to omit all references to miracles and the divine, leaving only the philosophies. Religious liberty, and the freedom from religious oppression, are core American ideals

Casual reminder the state department is posting Christian nationalist ideology on social media 🥴 and Trump is on the #EpsteinList.

Don’t let the world forget!! Not a moment of peace for the fascists.
